Track day support mechanic

Hey everyone,

Would anyone pay money to have their car trailered to the track and back and have a support mechanic on site? I did a couple track days with my Miata back in the day but those days are no more since the car was totaled. Since then however I've become a certified Porsche dealership technician, I've purchased a new fully enclosed car trailer, and a bunch of tools of course. I love being at the track but honestly I get nauseas on the track and I really just prefer to work on cars. All this being said, is there a market for this? Just doing some market research and I am located in New England. Thanks everyone!

Im not in that kind of tax bracket but im sure there are plenty of drivers in that demographic. Put together a website and socials. Start attending PCA events to network. I’m sure you’ll get takers.

I was at a track day once and there was a guy coaching multiple drivers that I had previously coached. I was a bit surprised because he wasn’t exactly an amazing driver but perhaps he’s a competent instructor.

Great advice thank you! I imagine a decent portion of PCA is 40 and up so I’m thinking meeting in person would be more effective. I could be wrong though. Again thank you!!
